Thread: Tractor on Club Rego ? Requirements ?

CLUB PERMIT ????
Wrong wrong.
Club rego is only for club rallies and maintance movements.
We are very lucky in this country to have a club permit system.
Don't stuff it for the rest of us.

You should try permit to move or conditional registration or full time rego.

Actually club permits are no longer restricted to maintenance or club trips in Victoria.

Is the nature strip council or private property?

There's a different system in Victoria Ron, they are allowed to use them on a certain number of days, might even have a logbook...?

So strictly speaking I suppose he can if he is in a tractor club...

Club rego doesn't require any lights at all, we put rear reflectors on the veterans for safety, but that's all.

If he only wants to use it as a tractor get agricultural conditional rego instead, as that will include the correct CTP (for if he slashes a kids head off...).

Otherwise do what I'd do and keep running it like it is, if he's not driving it on the road I doubt he'd be bothered by the police. (EDIT: Yes I know there's all the insurance risks blah blah)

I had a quick hunt as I got curious

Looks to me like stop and indicator lights plus a mirror need to be fitted.
A horn and also a rotating beacon is required when on a road.
It's all stuff that could easily be fitted to the roll bar(need to confirm if acceptable ).

Cheers, Kyle.

The issue still is that regular tractor implement conditional rego should be used for tractors and club rego should be used for club activities.

I strongly disagree with the 90 day scheme, for about $200 someone could go and get 4 old bangers and drive to work every day of the year on cheap rego. It is not the reason club rego was originated and it is these sorts of people who will spoil it for the rest of us.

As it is in NSW we could do a half circle of Australia on Historic rego (WA doesn't recognise NSW/Vic/Qld Club/Historic rego) so long as the trip was a Club event and that we spent no longer than 3 months continuously outside NSW, a single crossing of the border would re-set the 3 month clock.

If we had the 90 day rule, we'd get from Sydney through Gippsland along the Ocean road and have to end there and go back home to pick up another vehicle to do the rest of the lap. I don't want the 90 day rule under any circumstances.

The 90 day is excellent, my dad has 4 vehicles on club reg that would otherwise not see the road, these are all fully restored so definitely not some old rust buckets.

Point is, club rego should be used for club activities... Not so someone can have 4 EK Holdens that they drive to the train station every day of the year for work.

I agree that this is not a case for club rego.

Just curious.
What's the difference between using 4 old cars as daily drivers or 1 as a full time touring vehicle?
Seems to me they are letting both happen by default.

My feeling is club/historic rego is for "hobby" vehicles.
I shake my head at times after seeing some cars on these plates.
A rough bodied Mazda 323 was the latest I've seen.
